iOS 16 Cannot disable battery percentage

Same problem with my 12 pro max and I had it fixed.

First I backed up my phone completely in itunes.

Then I go to settings > general > transfer or reset iphone > erase all content and settings. And finally it worked! Battery percentage is now really “disabled” when turned off.

Problem is, when I restored this old backup to my new 14 pro max, same issue persists. Battery percentage cannot be disabled. I guess my next hope is to wait for new iOS update.

I didn’t try to do the “reset all settings” yet. If anyone did and it works, please let me know.

yes I am having this exact problem with iPhone 13 pro

Same here on my iphone 12 pro

Same issue here, on an iPhone 12 Pro

To each their own, I hate how it looks, didn't need it( the number over the battery icon) and would like to get rid of it... but the toggle doesn't do anything

Having the same problem here, can’t remove the battery percentage on my iPhone 13 Pro since switching to iOS 16 - so underwhelming

”reset all settings” fixed the issue.

I have the same on iphone 13 pro max, and ios 16.0.2 update didn't fix it

Hi, I have the same problem with my brand new Iphone 14 PRO. I had an iPhone 13 PRO and I moved data from the old one to the new one and since the first boot I cannot hide the percentage indicator.

Same on xs max.

With ”reset all settings” I fixed the issue and the phone seams to be also more performant, i.e. in the search

Reset of all settings fixed the issue, but after restore from backup the issue returned
